The first ever exemption dog show to take place on the Greek
Island of Corfu will be on Sunday May 18th 2003, at the lovely
beach side venue of Mon Repos. Running along side the show will
be a family fun day out aimed at capturing the interest of young
children who we hope, will be the next generation of responsible
pet owners.
The
show is in aid of raising desperately needed funds for the
"Ark" animal shelter a registered charity that is
currently funded by donations only with no state help and
run entirely by volunteers. Our most urgent programme is to
neuter stray and unwanted dogs and cats thus dealing with
the problem at source and, to re-home others wherever possible.
Carol
McBeth of Greek Animal Welfare Fund has kindly agreed to fly
in from Athens to judge "Best in show"
If
any UK doggy people are on holiday in Corfu at this time and
would like to come and meet us we would make them very welcome
at the event. Alternatively if you would like to sponsor the
event or make a donation to the "Ark" this can be
done with a simple bank transfer to the "Ark" account
at the Alpha Bank, Corfu, Greece, account number 680-002002-014311
any amount no matter how small would be much appreciated.
The
show is being organized by Mrs Sylvia Steen president of the
"Ark" who can be contacted on 0030 26610 30280 and
Mr Cameron White Dog trainer and canine behaviourist recently
relocated from the UK. Telephone 0030 26610 58035. cameronwhite@acn.gr.
